Abstract
The incidence of PPC was low after bariatric surgery. Increasing age, BMI, ASA status, MetS, obstructive sleep apnoea, asthma, congestive heart failure, surgical duration, and procedure type were independently significantly associated with PPC. Pulmonary complications and MetS were significantly associated with increased postoperative mortality.
